Round Robin betting is a safer way of betting parlays while keeping some upside. It involves selecting three or more single wagers to create a combination of parlays. You put a specific amount of money on each parlay, limiting both overall risk and upside. 

We’ll have one NBA and one NFL round robin bet lined up every week, so make sure to check back to this page for any updates.

Best Round Robin Bets Today – Tuesday NBA Picks

Here are four total bets with analysis to use in the round robin format. 

MORE PROPS: NFL | NBA | NHL | PGA | CFB

Jalen Duren 10+ Rebounds (-155)

Duren is one of the more dominant rebounders in the NBA, although his minutes have limited what he can do. He’s averaging 9.7 rebounds in only 23.4 minutes per game. He’s also averaging 16.3 rebound chances per game. 

Most importantly, Duren will face off against the Miami Heat. They’re allowing the second-most rebounds (18.0) per game to opposing centers in 2024-25. The Pistons centers also combined for 38 rebound chances in their only matchup against Miami with both centers posting 11+ rebounds. 

LaMelo Ball 36+ Points & Assists (-130)

It’s clear that Ball’s the focal point of the Charlotte Hornets offense. He’s averaging 29.4 points on 23.0 FGA, 13.0 3PA, and 5.0 FTA in 33.4 minutes per game this season. He’s also averaging 6.2 assists on 12.4 potential assists per game. 

Ball gets an elite matchup against the Orlando Magic, who have struggled against point guards this season. They’re allowing the seventh-most points (26.5) and fourth-most assists (10.2) per game to point guards. 

Ball’s quietly posted 34+ points in 40% of his games this season, and he should continue to see elite volume in this matchup. 

Anthony Edwards 27+ Points (-120)

Edwards continues to be one of the best scorers in the NBA. He’s averaging 28.3 points in 36.2 minutes per game this season. He’s also averaging 20.9 FGA, 5.4 3PA, and 4.6 FTA per game. 

Edwards gets a great matchup against the Portland Blazers. They’re allowing a league-high 26.8 points per game to opposing shooting guards. The Blazers are also giving up the second-most 3PM (4.5) per game to that position. 

Edwards is averaging 5.4 three-point makes per game this season, and his ability to hit the deep ball adds to his upside in this game. 

Jusuf Nurkic 25+ PRA (-110)

Nurkic’s seen mixed results throughout the 2024-25 season because of his lack of consistent minutes. He’s averaging 9.9 points on 7.2 FGA, 2.9 3PA, and 3.7 FTA in only 24.4 minutes per game. He’s also averaging 10.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists on 16.2 rebound chances and 2.2 potential assists per game. 

Nurkic gets an elite matchup against the Utah Jazz tonight. The Jazz are allowing the most points (28.5), fifth-most rebounds (16.5), and fourth-most assists (5.1) per game to the position. 

Nurkic is expected to see bigger minutes because of the injury to Kevin Durant, and he’s quietly posted 25+ PRA in three of his last four games. 

Round Robin Betting Guide

Let’s break down Round Robin betting with an example. For this example, we’ll assume there are four bets, which will be labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. There are 11 total combinations of parlays that you would run. Here they are:

  • 1 & 2
  • 1 & 3
  • 1 & 4
  • 2 & 3
  • 2 & 4
  • 3 & 4
  • 1, 2, & 3
  • 1, 2 & 4
  • 1, 3, & 4
  • 2, 3, & 4
  • 1, 2, 3, & 4

You’ll bet on each of these combinations. For example, if you want $10 per bet, you’ll bet $110 total. You can win each of the 11 bets with differing payouts as well. 

For example, if you win bets 1, 2, and 3, here are the individual parlays you’d cash:

  • 1 & 2
  • 1 & 3
  • 2 & 3
  • 1, 2, & 3

You cash all 11 bets if you sweep your card. This is a way to limit risks on a parlay, although it does also limit your overall possible payout compared to a normal parlay. 

If you bet $110 on this combination of parlays (at -110 odds each), you would receive $630 if you sweep the card. If you solely bet the 4-leg parlay, you’d win $1,461.50. The difference is you can win money back on Round Robin betting, while parlay betting is all-or-nothing.
